Dandan noodles and wine?

Poderi Colla Dardi le Rose Bussia Barolo 2004


Dried flower, black fruit, mint and tar.
Tannin was there but soft.
There was depth, but I felt it was more like subtle than obviously powerful.
Great wine with balance and complexity.

JC gave me this as a blind tasting. I got the variety and the region right.
With the fruit, herb, tar and the pale brick color, it wasn't hard to deduce.

We were to have this wine with tomato sauce pasta, but JC suddenly got a new idea and cooked Tomato Dandan noodles.

He didn't use chili because I couldn't take the heat, but used sansho instead and it gave enough spiciness.

The pairing wasn't success. The spiciness collided with the wine.
We should have stuck to pasta for the wine, but Dandan noodle itself was good and we just enjoyed the wine after the meal.
